Best wind and swell for Cape Moreton / Hutches Reef?

[Khunaus]

Hi

I have a 5.5 meter plate centre console and am looking for some advise on what weather reports to look out for wind direction/speed and swell combinations for fishing out at the Cape / Hutchies Reef?

I'm looking for something as a guide that will be relatively smooth / safe, it does not have to be glass (although nice) but not wanting something too rough to keep it comfortable for the fam.

Whats the max / min between the combinations to keep an eye out for? Ive seen weather reports where I assumed it would be bumpy to see it flat...and vice versa.

Leaving from and returning to Scarborough.

Any advise appreciated.

Cheers

Under 10 knots and under 2m swell your good to go and be pretty comfortable..

After that it will start to get a little joggly..

Wind direction won't play a massive factor if reasonably light..

Northerlies aren’t great as you have to punch into the chop the hole way out and there is no protection from the north.
